Thank you,
yuliee, for pointing out that when we screen comments after they've been posted, the person being replied to doesn't get LJ notifications. ;) I, for one, have alerts on for screened comments so I get everything but a lot of people don't. :P
With that, the rule on screening non-vote comments when posting on apps is now officially removed. So feel free to fangirl and talk on your posts. In place of the old rule, though, we request that after/while you guys talk, you screen all the past conversation comments and just leave the latest one unscreened. :D
And, now, it's time for the theme poll for April! Good news, we have some new theme suggestions care of
abyss_rating, our new affiliate. Tomoyo-chan checked out their themes and asked permission to use them here at our comm. Tomoyo-chan has already put some Tutu spins and we've brainstormed for more ideas for them. ;) Check them out:
Character Rival
Which character would you compete with the most?
Character Look-alike
Which character do you look like the most?
To put it simply, mirror theme! :D In the usual stamping comm, pictures of the person applying are posted and voters compare them to the characters. We'd like to do something different for us, though (especially since we don't all want to post photos/have photos to post). ;) We're giving the option to either post pictures, give very detailed descriptions, or post drawings/sketches/doodles of themselves. XXDD There will be guidelines and such for this and we could all brainstorm together. XD
Character Voice-alike
Which character do you sound like the most?
We'll be posting short recordings of our voices. You'll also be recording your answers to a few questions. This can be done ala voice post or recording on your pc.
Story Role
Which role would be yours in the story
This is going to be based on the characters' roles and not the characters' personalities themselves. ;) Stamp examples from Tomoyo-chan: The Swan Princess, The Raven Princess, The Knight, The Heartless Prince, The Swan Prince, The Old Writer, The Young Writer, The Guide, The Raven.
Character Powers
Which magical power would you have? (from the show)
Stamp examples from Tomoyo-chan: Flower Waltz (Tutu & even Siegfried), Heart Seal (Siegfried; the shattering of his heart to seal the Raven), Raven Attack (Kraehe & the Raven), Spinner of Stories (Fakir's and Drosselmeyer's power to bring stories to life), Raven's Blood (the power to turn people into ravens), Loophole in Time (Drosselmeyer, Edel, and Uzura's ability to go between the 'real' world and the dimensional gap))
Plus this theme from the deliberation for the February theme.
Pas de Deux
These would include the different pas de deux from the show (e.g. Ahiru & Fakir -- Sleeping Beauty, Prince Mytho and Princess Rue's pas de deux at the end of season 2, etc.). For a more complete list, click
here.
This would be kind of like how we stamped people for the Soundtrack theme (that is, feelings and emotions as well as the relationship conveyed during the pas de deux and figuring out if they fit the stampee's personality; I think we did well with the Soundtrack theme ;) )
We also have all our past theme suggestions. You can have a refresher by looking at their descriptions
here.
I hope you guys read everything before you vote so that we're sure there are no misunderstandings. :3 And, now, it's time to vote!
